We’ve expanded the functionality of managing Node-RED environment variables by introducing the ability to hide their values in the UI. | ||
|
||
### What’s new? | ||
This feature is supported by both hosted and remote Node-RED instances. | ||
- Users can now designate ENV vars as hidden during creation or editing. | ||
- Hidden ENV vars will have their values concealed in the UI for enhanced privacy. | ||
- Users can now designate values as 'hidden' when creating or editing them. | ||
- Hidden values are concealed in the UI for enhanced privacy and security. | ||
- Once marked as hidden and saved: | ||
- The ENV var’s **name** cannot be changed. | ||
- The ENV var’s **value** can only be updated, not viewed. | ||
- To make an ENV var public/visible again, users must delete the hidden variable and recreate it as a visible one. | ||
- the **name** cannot be changed. | ||
- the value can only be updated - its existing value cannot be seen. | ||
- To make a value visible again, users must delete the entry and recreate it as a visible one. | ||
|
||
This feature enhances security and allows for more control over sensitive configuration data, ensuring better management in your Node-RED workflows. | ||
